  1. Johnny in the comic is the same age as Spider-man. Thus why their friendship has lasted so long. So yes a he is a bit too old for the role.
  2. Yeah, I'm guessing Deadpool as well. Maybe a hint at the next Haslab since they usually tease it in febraury.
  3. Honestly, I can get behind this casting. I do think Johnny looks a bit too old but we have a 20something year old playing a high school spider-man so we will see how it does. Also I think you mixed up Johnny and Ben's casting.
  4. wait. Disney and WB are working together? Miracles do happen I suppose.
  5. I think with this year being the Year of the dragon, I would like to see Hasbro use the opportunity to make the Haslab Fin Fang Foom.
  6. I'll have all the Wolverines and Angel on preorder and will get the Cap. I will also get it for it's eventual Green repaint.
  7. Hey, my fellow Plastic Addicts. During Rektangular's latest leak, he said that we were getting some sort of assortment that was based on the Strange Tales comic title. However, he never mentioned if it was a wave, 2-pack, or box set. So when I researching this, I had nearly 50 character I believe could be made into this assortment. So I thought instead of making this a wave, I make a series of 2-pack instead. Before we get another, I should go over how I came about picking these character out of all the character from this title. First, I only picked characters from #101 on. Yes, there are some characters from the first 100 issues but the majority of them were one off characters. It was from #101 that the title went from being just some random sci-fi/horror title to a super-hero comic. Next I got excluded the gigantic characters. This is the likes of Eternity and Living Tribunal. It's not that I don't want them but if those 2 particular character aren't the same size or bigger then the Haslab Galactus then I know people will be angry. I also tried to include at least one set from each period of the comic. However, I could only pick six sets so this was very hard to create, which is why it has taken so long to create this after I asked you if you wanted me to do this. Now onto the sets start with: Human Torch VS Wizard We start off with the character that started moving the comic series into the super-hero genre, the Human Torch. Now we have had many Johnny Storms over the years but for this version I want his classic flame on version and let me say this cleary, that is NOT translutent! This will use the Amazing Fantasty body mold, since he was much longer. It should also have NO F4 symbol and come with a Jim Hammond head. As for his pack mate, I think the Wizard is the ideal character to join him. He may have become a Mr. Fantastic villain but when he was starting out he was just jealous of Human Torch's fame. I'm not sure which mold this could use so let me know which you think will work for this. First Appearance Dr. Strange and Wong You can't talk about Strange Tales without talking about the character it helped creates, the Sorcerer Supreme, Dr. Strange. But for this version, he is not the Sorcerer Supreme just yet. For this set I think it will be better to make it based on his original appearance, where is has no cape. This of course will use the Classic Strange mold without the cape and a new head. Joining him and I struggled really hard on this, I decided to include Wong. Yes, i could have included many other characters like Mordo, but I think for this assortment, Wong is the best choice. This will use the Hand mold with a new overlay and sleeves. Nick Fury and Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine During the next period of the comic, Human Torch (and the Thing) were out and Nick Fury and SHIELD were in. Yes I know there is a rumor for Nick for be in a 3-pack with Dum Dum and Sharon Carter, I think they are just all in the standard SHIELD uniform. In the original SHIELD comics, Nick wore a blue business suit so i wanted to make that instead. This will us the Happy Hogan mold. Joining him we have Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine (I'm not saying that name again). I DO think that Val may be a swappable head for Carter in the 3-pack but until then here she is. This will use the same mold as Maria Hill/Quake. Brother Voodoo and Black Talon After a few years of Hiatus, Strange Tales returned with a brand new mystic character in the form of Brother Voodoo. For this I think his original appearance would be a new addition to many collections. This would use the Vulcan body mold with added parts. Joining him we have Black Talon, a voodoo villain. I thought to include this as he has been appearing in Deadpool comics for a while now (not the same person as about but they wear the same costume). This will use the Spider-Uk mold with new forearms and legs. Adam Warlock and Gamora The next period of Strange Tale, they went into space with Adam Warlock taking over the comic. I picked the version above as it when he truly became the character we know today (and not what was portrayed in the GOTG 3 movie). This would use the Vulcan mold. If they want to include the cape or not is up to them. For his pack-mate, I decided on Gamora in her original costume. yes I could have included Pip or Magus but I think the appeal of Gamora would work better for this set. This would use the Shriek body mold. Cloak and Dagger For the final set, we jump to volume 2 of the series where Cloak and Dagger joined Dr. Strange in sharing the comic. Cloak will be pretty much the same as before (Maybe a new head) but Dagger should get a remake with the Shriek body mold. And that is what i think should be include in this rumored Strange Tales. Yes I could have included some characters from later volumes but then I would be here alot longer deciding which characters should be included. Let me know what you think in the comments below or on any of the social media sites.
  8. them too and Blue Punisher, Blade, Morbius etc. It just shows that there is a want for this line
  9. not really. When these started to be made, these two were some of the more requested figures for this line.
  10. Not the DD anniversary set I was expecting. In fact i thought they were done with this but this actually looks pretty awesome.
  11. I have been meaning to read Octo Girl. I mean Doc Ock isekai'd into a Japanese school girl seems fun.
  12. honestly looking at this, I want Hasbro to take their time. This looks like an oversize chibi figure.
  13. Hey, my fellow Plastic Addicts. Today I have three more Grunts/ Army Builder to look at, one that is kind of obvious and two that you probably didn't know that you could use as Army Builders. We start with the obvious one and that being Mindless Ones. Now, being a BAF, I won't say you HAVE to build this army. In fact, I suggest you just wait because I have a feeling Hasbro will re-release this with yellow or blue eye. Next, we have Nova Corps Troopers. Yes, this figure is Richard Rider but since many members wear the exact, you can easily use this as some random Nova Corps member. I would even suggest finding someone who makes costume heads and getting them to make a few other members of the Corps. As for the last of the Grunts, we have a Nuke Clones, a short-lived terrorist group that, as the name suggests, were an army of clone based on Nuke.
  14. Hey, my fellow Plastic Addict. We are a few weeks out to Sony's latest attempt at building their own "Spider-man universe without Spider-man" with Madame Web. As we know in the trailers, the main villain seems to be Ezekiel Sims. (Yes, I'm as pissed off about this movie as any other Spider-man fan). By pure coincidence the next character in your shrinking requests for Missing Legends just happens to be Ezekiel Sims. As always if you have a request, please enter it into the Missing Legends Requests page.
  15. I ended up ordering the 3 I wanted (Maddie, Mag and X-cutioner) Plus Cyclops.
  16. I'm still debating if I will get them all or just the three. I mean most of them work perfectly for comic figures.
  17. Hey, my fellow Plastic Addicts. It's been over 3 months since I did a Grunt NCS. Mostly because there have been a few new characters but it's because it was during the X-mas break. Also, I find doing the Grunts pages boring. None the less, I have endeavored to make a NCS for every army builder (and character) that has been released so here we are. We start with the SHIELD battle armor, Mandroids. Well, I call it a Mandroid but I cannot find any reference for this design. Hopefully when (Not if) Hasbro gets around to re-releasing / remaking this it will be closer to one of the comic designs. Next we head over to the Nextwave universe with a look at Elvis Pres...I mean Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing (Nextwave). No. I'm not saying you should Army Build this. Unless you are rich as #$##, there is no chance of you building this for cheap.
  18. because she is popular. I'm tired of people who keep saying she is not. If she wasn't they wouldn't be pushing her. Marvel is all about money. If she wasn't selling, they wouldn't keep pushing her.
  19. Hey, my fellow Plastic Addicts. With the release of Sabretooth and now Vertigo (I suppose you can include Sinister and Gambit as well), Hasbro are slowly (very slowly) starting to build up the Marauders team. As such people have been asking me to make a few Marauders members as Missing Legends. As always if you want to request a character you want me to look at, please enter it in the Missing Legends Requests. Today we look at the Inuit member of the team, Harpoon. I honestly see this being slotted in a random wave. He is such an easy character to make, it makes me wonder why we haven't seen him yet.
  20. The razzie have become just a meme. if they they find the internet hates a movie for some reason they use that as nominations.
